These 52'-8" box cars were built by AC&F (Lot 11-06858) in 1980. They featured 8'+8' Youngstown sliding doors, non-terminating ends, Freight Saver cushioned underframes and 5525 ft3 capacity.

Some of these cars were rebuilt and renumbered as part of the Golden West Service program. Later, they were renumbered and repainted into the UP's simplified shield scheme. They retained their SP reporting marks, but were given new numbers in the SP 252000 series by UP.
